Well, that was embarrassing.
A disjointed LA Galaxy team wilted in the heat as Clint Dempsey, Nicolás Lodiero and company were rampant, cruising to a dominant 3-0 victory Sunday afternoon at the StubHub Center.
The Galaxy started off brightly, but soon the Sounders were in control, completely bossing the midfield. Clint Dempsey and Nicolás Lodiero were feasting off the play of bruising center forward Will Bruin while a strong front press left LA with little possession.
Inevitably, Seattle went ahead when Lodiero got to the touch line and delicately chipped a soft cross that Clint Dempsey headed home from the back post.
